Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The human–chimpanzee split is dated to at least 7–8 million years and the population split between Neanderthals and modern humans to 400,000–800,000 y ago, which suggests that molecular divergence dates may not be in conflict with the attribution of 6- to 7-million-y-old fossils to the human lineage and 400,,000-Y-old bones to the Neanderthal lineage.

TL;DR: It is shown that chimpanzees exhibit greater behavioural diversity in environments with more variability — in both recent and historical timescales, suggesting that environmental variability was a critical evolutionary force promoting the behavioural, as well as cultural diversification of great apes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Language evolution: semantic combinations in primate calls.
Kate Arnold,Klaus Zuberbühler +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that free-ranging putty-nosed monkeys combine two vocalizations into different call sequences that are linked to specific external events, such as the presence of a predator and the imminent movement of the group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diana monkey long-distance calls : messages for conspecifics and predators
TL;DR: It is concluded that, in addition to their function in perception advertisement, diana monkey long-distance calls function as within-group semantic signals that denote different types of predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lethal aggression in Pan is better explained by adaptive strategies than human impacts

TL;DR: It is found that males were the most frequent attackers and victims; most killings involved intercommunity attacks; and attackers greatly outnumbered their victims (median 8:1 ratio).
